About Clifton

Tucked into a steep canyon where Chase Creek meets the San Francisco River, Clifton is a quiet, rugged desert town shaped by generations of copper mining. Most people move here for work at the nearby mines, drawn by the close community and dramatic canyon views. Historic brick buildings line Chase Creek, while houses cling directly to the rocky hillsides. As the Greenlee County seat and the southern gateway to the scenic Coronado Trail, it offers a laid-back lifestyle with easy access to mountain recreation.
